Welcome to the RemARKable Stamp of the Month Blog Tour for February. We are focusing on the Collage Curios Set this month. I love the versatility of this set. It can make whimsical, playful cards or romantic, vintage cards or anything in between. It also works beautifully with the 1" Circle Punch and Soda Pop Tops.
Here's a playful card I created combining the Collage Curios Set with a sentiment from the Up, Up & Away Set. It would be perfect for a graduation card.
Uses Collage Curios Clear-Mount Set and Up, Up & Away Clear-Mount Set plus Clear-Mount Block A, Island Indigo Classic Stampin' Pad, Wild Wasabi Classic Stampin' Pad, Not Quite Navy Classic Stampin' Pad, Island Indigo Card Stock, Pool Party Card Stock, Wild Wasabi Card Stock, Whisper White Card Stock, Island Indigo 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon, Wild Wasabi 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Silver Soda Pop Tops, Stampin' Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive, Sticky Strip, Stampin' Trimmer, Paper Snips, Craft Scissors, 1" Circle Punch, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Multipurpose Platform, Standard Cutting Pads, Cloudy Day Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, thick cardboard for shim while flattening Soda Pop Top, and Post-It Note for masking.
This next one is too bulky to scan well, so you'll have to view it as a picture. I loved making "wedding rings" by embossing the circle outline image in gold on vellum and then punching out the center with the 3/4" Circle Punch before punching out the whole circle with the 1" Circle Punch. This is the card I gave my parents to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, but it could also be used for a wedding, bridal shower, or Valentine card.

Thanks, Andi. Just got home from a whirlwind trip to Florida so I could attend my parents' vow renewal ceremony. Now I need to go follow the tour myself!
